Between the character designs and the Dream Team of writers, I'm definitely looking forward to this. Thanks to Doremi for the audio subbing, the guide of who was talking when was a really nice touch.

Spoiler for for prologue:

Based on the prologue, it seems like Matsuri's a vampire, and Takeshi and Mayuko are looking for her because she ran away? It'll be interesting to see where they go with this...aargh, spring is so close yet so far...

Spoiler for huh?:

Vampire!? Where the hell did you got that from? Am I stupid or what? I didn't catch anything like that at all.

Spoiler for for speculation based on the prologue:

Well, there are a couple things that led me to think that--although I freely admit maybe I've just watched too much Tsukuyomi lately and am jumping to the wrong conclusion

- Matsuri talks about how she wishes it would rain, implying that somehow she can't stand a blue sky (or sunlight). She also mentions cutting through the park, and says "even if the rain stops, there's still eaves there". If she really can't stand daylight, she could be saying she could safely wait under the eaves for the sun to go down.

- Mayuko and Takeshi talk about looking for someone, and Mayuko has to hide for some reason, which makes me wonder if she's hiding from other people, or if Mayuko's also hiding from the sun. Mayuko says (about the person they're looking for, who may or may not be Matsuri) "do you think she's wandering around day and night sipping tomato juice out of a wine glass"...and if vampires can't get blood, sometimes in other anime they use tomato juice as a substitute.

- Mana and Koyori talk about someone who's 'maybe not human' at the old abandoned church. Takeshi also mentions how the person him and Mayuko are looking for couldn't possibly be hiding somewhere as convenient as an old abandoned church. Later, Matsuri says "tadaima" (I'm home) after opening a creaky-sounding door, and no one answers--which is exactly what I'd expect if she was coming 'home' to an old abandoned church she's hiding out in.

- Aono warns Yorito to be careful because it's night out--this might not mean anything, but if Aono were aware that vampires existed, that could be why. Aono gives me that "I know much more than I'm telling you" vibe for some reason...

I guess when I write it out, it's really not much proof that anyone's a vampire --but there's definitely something interesting going on...after listening to the prologue I really can't wait to see this now

Naoki Hisaya - co-writer of ONE and Kanon (Nayuki, Ayu, Shiori). His recent works haven't been particular well received.

Naru Nanao - character illustrator of Da Capo, Suika, ef (not a writer as someone suggests, but the person in charge of original character art)

Elements Garden - BGM composer for many games

By the standards of most anime fans, this is hardly a dream team, given how game stories and adaptations are so often criticized. Nonetheless, it'll be interesting to see how well these creators can pull off a mainstream project like this.

Ghosts usually hang in 1 location, don't buy stuff and don't drink tomato juice. People have to search for her. Both females have to avoid the sunlight. So I think that we are dealing with 2 vampires here (Matsuri and Mayuko) with Takeshi as the human servant of Mayuko.

After listening to the prologue, I am sort of sold. Noto Mamiko playing the main heroine's role for once? One who has the quirky behaviour of wanting to be in the rain all the time? Can it be? An anime series in which Noto Mamiko not only plays the role of the main heroine, but one who is mysterious as well?

Yie! Not second-fiddle romance interest for once? EVEN BETTER, not a DAMNED TSUNDERE( or mentally-impaired/childhood-promise/etc... take your stereotypical pick) female lead for once! Sounds good to me.

Just listened to the prologue. Nice, nice voice work.... what Skane said times five...
People have only briefly mentioned the piece of music at the end. It stopped me in my tracks and I just sat and listened. The only thing that kept it from being absolutely perfect was that it wasn't raining outside...

This series *may* just hit most of my favorite buttons.... even if they aren't vampires or ghosts....

I'm sensing vampires, ghosts... or people who just live like those
Something with some of the whispery ethereal sad qualities that Tsukuyomi Moon Phase sometimes evoked in between the horror and comedy.
